Let’s be real — nobody wants to unwrap six sets of monogrammed towels and three slow cookers after the honeymoon. But it happens all the time, bless our hearts. Why? Because people guess. And when your guests guess, you end up with a pile of “thoughtful” things that’ll sit in a closet until your next…

It was a beautiful day for this wedding at Graystone Quarry outside of Nashville. I typically don’t walk down to the reception site when I am there to officiate a wedding but this day I did. I took a few photos you might enjoy.

This couple wanted a very short and quick ceremony, so that’s what we did. Everything was simple, including no wedding party. Small and simple can be nice. I have a history with the Bridge Building. My dad was a welder and worked at the Nashville Bridge Company long ago. I remember him taking me to…

Yesterday I officiated this wedding at the Pick Inn. It was definitely decked out for a fall wedding. It was a tad cool but no rain. The ring bearer and flower girl were both Domerman’s! I’m just glad they didn’t spot the deer I saw earlier out there. I am seeing more and more QR…

Yesterday I offiiciated this wedding at the Cool Springs House. It was a very nice wedding but the thing I wanted to mention is a warning. I arrived and was told that this couple’s DJ had ripped them off. They had paid a big up front payment and got ghosted. The wedding planner was able…

Last Saturday I officiated an elopement ceremony at the Nashville Bunkhouse, an Airbnb up towards White’s Creek on Dry Creek Road just outside of Nashville. It was up a hill a bit, surrounded by trees and secluded. This couple, from Michigan, had stayed at this Airbnb a few times and decided they would wed there….

It’d be hard to find a more beautiful place in middle Tennessee for a fall wedding than Front Porch Farms. It sits high on a hill overlooking the fall foliage in every direction. And it’s far enough out from everything that it’s quiet and peaceful. Take a look at some photos I took yesterday at…

Today I officiated a simple micro wedding at Skinner Chapel on the beautiful campus of Scarritt-Bennett in the Vanderbilt area. It was a very special day for the bride. It was her parent’s anniversary date and the dress she wore was her mother’s. Making it even more poignant is that her mother had passed away….

I officiated this wedding last night. The weather was perfect. Temps in the 70’s and a bit of cloud cover to keep the sun off us during the ceremony. The leaves are beginning to turn so it was a beautiful evening at Diamond Creek Farm for a wedding. Hope you enjoy the pictures I took…

I grew up not far from Riverwood Mansion but never knew it was there until I was invited to officiate my first wedding there about 20 years ago. It is tucked away in an East Nashville neighborhood. It is a beautiful historic mansion. Joyce is the usual day of director and does a steller job….
